Day 37-
Lil bit tired and hungover this morn, didn't have to check out to midday so we got up and went to hit the spa up seein we missed out last night, and it was closed for cleaning! Not meant to be. We then packed our bags and took all the stuff we didn't need to kiels and picked him up. We checked out and went for breakfast back to the crepe place as was so epic. After that we had a couple hours to kill waiting for Scotty and Megan's mate Sean to get back as we needed to take his car as well for all of us as kiels mate Sam was coming with us. So we wandered round town and went ice skating on Robson st, was hilarious watching peanut try skate, looked like putting a new born deer on ice, limbs everywhere. Scotty was also pretty dangerous. After that we went for a beer at an Irish pub then went to meet Sean. We packed all our s*** and kiels skis into the two cars and hit the road. We stopped in Squamish for groceries and liquor then got McDs for tea and carried on to whistler. The place is amazing covered in snow and resort lodges everywhere! Beautiful room to and smuggled all our illegal guests in, booked for 4 but sleeping 10, no biggie. We made some dinner in the room and had a cheeky beer pong tournament. Me and Megan won going undefeated! We then hit up the spa which is crazy!! Outdoor spas and saunas all heated with snow all around, very pretty. Hitting the slopes tomorrow!

Day 38-
Got up bright and early and got kitted up in our ski gear! Walked up to the village which was like a 5 min walk from our hotel. We popped in to a random ski rental place and hired some gear for everyone, was super organised and quick only took like 15mins to get it all. I accidentally stole a sweet pair of winter socks from the place too so that worked out well. We got our tickets then had to line up for ages to get on the first gondola. So you can choose to take either chairlift up blackcomb or whistler mountains, or take a gondola up to the top then ski to a chairlift, the rides were massive and long and you could take like 3 lifts up to the top then there is this huge gondola that goes from one peak of blackcomb over to the other peak of whistler, pretty epic going between two mountains. So we snowboarded and ski'd in the morning stopped for lunch then back up to the top. They stop the lifts bout 3pm as starts getting pretty dark early. When we got home we all hit the spa pool and made some pasta for dinner. Had a few beers then hit the village for some drinks but were all pretty tired so shut er down earlyish. Sore tomorrow.

Day 39- LAST DAY OF 2012
New Year's Eve-everybody was pretty sore and sluggish today so didn't get up til late, watched the junior Canadian team beat Russia in the world champs. Showered up then the girls went in to town for a bit. Reese and CJ were driving up so the boys went to get a feed at some s***ty urban grill place. All still a bit seedy from last night. When Reese and CJ got here we went back to the room and got straight into some beer pong. Me and Reese had some epic battles with CJ and Scotty but beer pong was the real winner on the day, the results don't matter. We were booked in for an early dinner and drinks at 5pm at Earls and because there was like 10 of us and place was pretty booked out we had this whole VIP lounge area to ourselves with private service, high rollers, they must have known I was in the group. Had a really nice meal and champagne celebrations then had to be out by bout 7.30 so we wandered back to the room for some drinking games. Kiels mate Sam invited this real sweet guy who got smoked drunk and made a c*** of himself so he left early. We then nailed it back to the village for the celebrations just before midnight, fireworks, drinks, kisses and high fives. Pretty standard but awesome back drop with the mountains. Then went to some cool wee bar that had a smaller cover charge than the rest of the places, lit it up then had ya standard McDs on the way home! Happy New Years everyone!!

Day 40- January 1st 2013
What a start to the new year, soooo tired and hungover! And soooo worth it. Had the best night. Started by first day of an attempted whole month with no booze! not that any of the crew were that supportive. We finally got up and got moving and wandered in to the village amongst all the other zombies. Found somewhere quiet to get a table at some saloon and grill, everyone ordered heaps of food but not a whole lot of it got eaten, bit of a waste. Went back to the hotel where everyone shut er down for a bit and had naps, a few of us went down to the pool and spa which helped pick us up a bit. Later on that night we decided to go out for mongolian but soon found everywhere was fully booked out and crazy busy so walked round for ages ended up having to wait an hour or so for a table. I had a huge craving for ribs so found a sweet joint called 21 steps which had baby back ribs, but after I ordered the waiter fella came out saying they'd run out! Devo. But they did make me up a big batch of the entree ribs with BBQ sauce and veges, was ok. The boys tried desperately to get me to have a drink but I persisted... Only just, CJ pulled out the big guns. Back to the house everyone was pretty tired so early nights all round.
